Text on US Cultural Hegemony
1. What reasons for anti American feelings in Europe does the text give?
- American culture ousts European culture
- German or other European languages are being flooded with English terms and expressions
- Sense of national identity severely disturbed
- Europeans are afraid of loosing their cultural autonomy
- European culture replaced by American culture
- Vietnam-war
- Guantanamo Bay and Abu-Ghraib
- Americans ignore and don't know about European culture
- American worldview is centered on America
- Americans expect everyone to think and speak American
- Americanization as cultural imperialism
2. Why has Germany been especially quick at embracing American culture?
- America's help after WWII (→ Marshall Plan) ==> Germans felt grateful
- German culture discredited by Nazis, German from "Dichter und Denker" to "Richter und Henker"
- Germans looked for new cultural model → culture of the victoriuos, democratic and successful USA
- Germans were not allowed to have and learned to feel ashamed of patriotic feelings → easy to take over Western/US mass culture
- US culture meant luxury, affluence, freedom, individualism
